Start with the typical home: $394,493. Put 20% down and borrow $315,594 at 7.40%, the 30-year fixed average as of October 8, 2026.

That is $2,185 a month in principal and interest.

The median household here earns $79,766 a year, $6,647 a month. So the payment takes 32.9% of income — rated “stretched” (Lotvox ZIP bands: under 28% affordable · 28–36% stretched · 36%+ severe).

The line holds today's rate fixed and moves only the price: at that rate, the same share was 8.6% in 2000.

Picture the Listings Flow Ladder as a basin: new listings pour in from the faucet, the homes for sale are the water, and closed sales run out the drain. Coming in — new listings: about 56 a month (Redfin, 3-month rolling data through August 2026). That is 141% of the 2015–2019 level for the same months.

On the shelf — homes for sale at the end of the period: 188.

Going out — closed sales: about 41 a month. That is 112% of the 2015–2019 level for the same months. The drain is drawn 26% narrower: the share of homes for sale that sell each month is 74% of its 2015–2019 level.

The ladder: homes for sale ÷ monthly sales = 4.6 months of supply — inside the 4–6 month balanced range. In the basin, that is the water level against the shaded balanced band.

The net reading: about 15 more homes came on than sold each month, so inventory is growing. The basin is filling.
